Sounds like a reasonable approach to me... var_dump()

1) Should not invoke the getters..
2) Should indicate that they are property accessors (perhaps not even 
show the underlying guarded property?)

Possibly:

object(surface)#1 (3) {
   ["area":accessor]=>
   NULL
   ["width":accessor]=>
   int(4)
   ["height":accessor]=>
   int(2)
}

This could easily be changed if nobody had any further disagreements 
with this?

Only issue I could see would be existing code that may parse var_dump() 
might break if it wasn't written to accept something other that 
private/protected...
